BIMsolar® is an innovative project supported by EIT-InnoEnergy, EUROSTARS and H2020 programmes.
WEB community and connected software dedicated to promote solar innovations into architecture.
BIMsolar® supports you to design your photovoltaic installations, either BAPV (standards PV modules mainly on roofs) or BIPV (fully integrated into the façades and even PV windows or floors to create new building skins).
BIMsolar® imports various 3D & BIM files: SketchUp, BIM IFC , gbXML, EnergyPlus
Weather data
Our server offers a hundred of data from weather stations. You can also import your own weather data in tm2, epw or csv format
Irradiance simulation
BIMsolar® enables you to set and simulate direct and diffuse irradiance. The software models solar gains and energy losses at any point of your 3D scene
PV modules
You will use a large choice of PV modules, available on the market (extensive Photon® database). You will also be able to develop your own BIPV innovations using BIMsolar configurators
Inverters selection
You get extensive data base (Photon®) to select your inverters. The software also enables you to develop your own innovative configuration
Câblage - Strings
Modules connection and wiring should be done either manually or in auto mode, following your inverters selection and your PV system configuration
Detailed results
BIMsolar® gives you access to monthly, daily or hourly detailed results. You should manage irradiance and PV production for the whole system or selecting you set of modules and inverters. You receive data and figures for losses due to shadowing, heating, wiring and mismatching effects
Financial analysis
You should perform what-if analysis to get financial performance for your project, global and instantaneous. Compare variants! BIMsolar® simulates ROI related to your strategies: feed-in, self-consumption, mix.
